The Evocities MTB Series is the richest mountain biking series in the country, with over $80,000 in prize money on offer, and Farrell said riders will have to earn every single dollar of prize money in the first leg, thanks to the difficult Orange track.

"Olympic cross country tracks have been getting shorter and shorter," Farrell said.

"Because we want to jam more riders in and space them well, we'll be adding some length to the track. Skill and daring will produce results on this track as well, it's one of the more technical tracks around the area."

The Kinross State Forest track includes over 20km of purpose built single track, with a good combination of easy flowing smooth sections teamed with some more technical short and sharp hills, and fast descents along the A, B and C lines.

Farrell said the track - set to be around nine kilometres long, and an adapted version of one of four loops already in place at Kinross State Forest - won't suit any one rider, with several steep downhill sections a feature which will leave competitors essentially slaloming through the abundance of pine trees. 

Farrell went on to explain the more intricate features of the track, set to test even the most skilled riders.

"Our track doesn't pigeonhole any one rider, and is a real cat and mouse type track. It's very balanced," he said.

"It suits guys who are more pedally in places, but then it suits those more technical in others as well. There is something in it for everyone.

"Not everyone has to deal with each obstacle, so I don't want to make everyone think it's too gnarly or rocky, but there are certainly areas which are very difficult.

"There is a number of drops, and a big rock step at one stage. 

“We don't dumb the track down at all, there is a number of high speed areas through trees, and the whole thing combined is why I think our track is so popular."
